MapleStory Kaiser Skill Build Guide

Kaiser is one of MapleStory Nova Warrior Hero which will be coming to KMS (Korean MapleStory) on July 26 2012. Kaiser is a human-dragon race who appears to have mini horns, wings and tail with striking cyan hair. They wield 2-handed sword and Dragon Soul. Kaiser’s primary stat is STR and secondary stat is DEX. Kaiser uses a Morph Gauge and Command system, a combination of Aran, Luminous and Demon Slayer system. It works by filling up the Morph gauge quickly by performing attack + arrow-key + command. Upon filling it completely, it provides bonus stats and able to temporarily transform into a powerful Dragon Saber during 3rd and 4th Job while significantly improving Kaiser abilities potential, more specifically to attacking skills. You can trigger Combo Skills by performing a series of (attack + arrow + command) or hotkey them. Kaiser is the only Warrior class that can equip a 2-handed Sword with its own special Shield that upgrades when you complete a job advancement.

Kaiser Pros and Cons

+ High HP
+ Great character card
+ Has Link Skill
+ Fairly mobile. Great mobbing and bossing.
+ High Survivability Rate.
+ Has Semi-Drain Skill
– Drain skill only works when using manual controls for skills (not a buff)
– Low MP (Insufficient for HP Washing)
– Lack party buff skills.

Kaiser Storyline

Long ago, the legendary Nova Warrior, Kaiser, protected Pantheon and the people of Grandis from Magnus, a power-hungry emissary of the Black Mage. The two powers collided, and in the end Magnus, along with his army of abominations, proved to be the stronger of the two. Faced with certain defeat, Kaiser unleashed an all-consuming attack, eradicating Magnus’s creatures and destroying his own physical form in the process. But his spirit lived on, waiting for the perfect host to receive his power. A young Nova Knight named Kyle with his friends Velderoth and Tear forms the Heliseum Force. It is serve to protect the people of Grandis from Magnus (Nova Betrayer) and his lackeys, just like how Kaiser protect his homeland long ago. One day, these lackeys infiltrated Pantheon by disguising themselves in Nova mage dress to steal Pantheon’s secret relic which is a cube. As the trio observe the evil men chattering away, Kyle asks Belderos to report this incident to the senior who are in town. After Belderos left, both approach the enemy. Tear touches this cube and both Kyle and herself become cursed with mystical powers but Tear faints in the process. Kyle attacks the enemy with one of Kaiser skills but faints right after. Tear awakens from her unconsciousness and finishes off the remaining enemy with her Angelic Buster attack. After the battle ends, the Novans see Kaiser symbol appears upon Kyle. Therefore, he becomes Kaiser successor.

Kaiser Notes

Use special attacks to fill the Morph Gauge to transform into Kaiser’s ancient dragon form, which increases Kaiser’s strength and mobility. As you level your Kaiser, you’ll reach new transformation stages with distinct looks.

The Dragon Link UI sits below the Morph Gauge and allows you to assign certain abilities to key combinations (i.e. Left, Right + Attack, or Left, Down + Attack, etc). These skills can also be added to your Quick Slot hot keys like other abilities. However, using the Dragon Link key combinations will fill your Morph Gauge faster!

Vertical Grapple (Active)
Shoot a grappling hook to the highest platform above you and pull yourself up similarly to climbing on to a rope or ladder but at rocket speed.
LV1: Climbs rope at 140% Speed.

Iron Will (Passive)
Permanently increases MaxHP.
LV1: +10% MaxHP.
[NOTE] Iron Will can be used as a Link Skill once you reach Level 70 which allows you to buff another character within your account with +10% MaxHP!

Explanation:
Flame Surge will be Kaiser’s primary attacking skill in 1st Job, not Dragon Slash! This is because Flame Surge has longer range and has lesser attacking animation which helps in speeding up of displaying enemy death. Plus, you save your fingers instead of spamming keys on Dragon Slash. However, you can use Dragon Slash for 1v1 especially boss solo unless there are mobs around it. Max Air Lift first as it makes travelling more convenient by jumping across large maps to reach from one end to the other. Then, max Flame Surge followed by Dragon Slash and Scale Skin. You do not need much protection in the early level as most of the mobs you will encounter during this period are weaklings.

Tempest Blades (Active)
Attacks enemy 3 times per sword with 3 copies of your sword you are currently wielding. If there is only 1 enemy, all swords will home to that enemy. Otherwise, each sword will split target whenever there are more than 1 nearby enemy. The skill has 20 sec cooldown for all levels.
LV1: 21 MP, 124% Damage.
LV20: 30 MP, 300% Damage.[3rd Job Final Final Form]
Attack enemy 4 times per sword with 3 copies of your sword.
LV1: 21 MP, 224% Damage.
LV20: 30 MP, 300% Damage.

Explanation:
Max Dragon Slash I and Attacker Mode I to get instant damage boost! Next add 1 SP to unlock Piercing Blaze and Impact Wave which will be frequently used for training. Improve Kaiser’s minimum and maximum damage with Inner Blaze and Sword Mastery and further boost max damage with Blaze On supportive skill. Then, start boosting Impact Wave as this will be your primary finishing skill to kill monsters after the first few Dragon Slashes.

Advanced Tempest Blades (Active)
[NOTE] Requires Max Tempest Blades.
Attacks enemy 4 times per sword with 5 copies of your sword you are currently wielding. If there is only 1 enemy, all swords will home to that enemy. Otherwise, each sword will split target whenever there are more than 1 nearby enemy.
LV1: 31 MP, 313% Damage. Permanently increases Attack Power by 2
LV30: 60 MP, 400% Damage. Permanently increases Attack Power by 20[4th Job Final Final Form]
Attack enemy 5 times per sword with 3 copies of your sword.
LV1: 31 MP, 313% Damage.
LV30: 60 MP, 400% Damage.

Final Final Form (Supportive)
[NOTE] This skill is an enhancement to 3rd Job Final Final Form. The level of this skill is automatically sync with your 3rd Job Final Final Form. It is not visible in 4th Job Skill Window. Activate this skill where it is introduced under 3rd Job Skills Tab in Skill Window.

Explanation:
It is not possible to max the skills in the following order since you will need to purchase or hunt Kaiser Mastery Books plus having to use them with a chance to fail in the process of upgrading your skills. Therefore, you can add those SP in those skills and move on to the next in sequence. Otherwise you can save SP (Skill Points) and wait till you grab hold your Mastery Books. Firstly, maxed Sword Strike before Advanced Sword Mastery as it deals much more damage. Then proceed with maxing Gigas Wave to be used against 1-to-1 combat such as boss. Although it seems it does less damage compared to Sword Strike statistically, but do not forget that it deals additional damage with the help of Cursebite (Kaiser 3rd Job Skill) when enemy is under the effect of slow inflicted by Gigas Wave. Dealing tons of damage isn’t enough to take down enemy within 1-3 hits if they are equipped with high defense. Therefore, max Unbreakable Will to allow your damage to bypass their defense. This is particular useful against mini-bosses and epic bosses. Further pump up your damage with passive weapon attack boost by maxing Advanced Tempest Blades before focusing on Grand Armor. As they say, prevention is better than cure. By killing enemy quickly, you avoid receiving damage from their retaliation. Again, further pump up all your stats with Nova Warrior. By now, all of Kaiser essential skills are maxed for quick leveling and bossing. You can follow the max sequence of the remaining skills or depending on your preferences.

Kaiser Equipment

Kaiser shield is available upon character creation. You do not need to buy this shield and its untradeable. The shield automatically upgrades whenever you made a job advancement by increase all stats (STR – Strength, DEX – Dexterity, LUK – Luck, INT – Intellect) and also boost both weapon and magic defense.

@Jackson: Hyper Skill Points for stats are provided not in every level but they are rewarded every 10 levels starting from Level 140 to Level 200. In short, you will gain a total of 6 Hyper Skill Points for Passive (stats) at Level 140, 150, 160, 170, 190 and 200. (180 not included). For more info, kindly refer to this guide http://ayumilove.net/maplestory-hyper-skills/

JacksonMarch 23, 2015 at 10:26 PM

Hi Ayumi! I always love reading your guide because it guides me since last year I started playing MapleSEA. I wonder why after adding Hyper Strength in lvl 140, why can’t I add Hyper Dexterity in lvl 141?

AyumilovePost authorMarch 21, 2015 at 11:00 AM

@RamenPanda: I have not encountered this MapleStory message before. I don’t think its referring to a Hyper Skill Point as your Kaiser is below Level 140. Does it relate to Link Skill? (Iron Will Level 2 Link Skill is achieved at Level 120).

RamenPandaMarch 21, 2015 at 2:26 AM

Ayumilove, On my level 120 Kaiser I have almost maxed all my characters. Every time I level up and raise my skills it says I have a skill point boost. I’m not sure if this is supposed to happen and I don’t know what is going on.

samMarch 9, 2015 at 5:59 PM

#john
wingbeat is still a dmg increase
you put like 1-3 of them up while bossing and they do work while you sit back and gigas wave

johnJanuary 27, 2015 at 2:31 PM

question. can u reupdate the proper hyper skill build? i dont use Wing Beat and its super weak to use now.

Can Kaiser do the Hog Mount Quest, and get the hog to ride on?January 4, 2015 at 2:07 AM

KaiserNub101XDDecember 31, 2014 at 10:25 AM

Hello, does anyone notice HOW hard kaiser is? Because if you don’t put the skills on your keyboard and use commands, you’ll notice it’s nearly IMPOSSIBLE to use the skills. It will just move you and use attack :/ and I need help, Kaiser HP is pretty dangerous. My Demon Slayer was a LOT safer so plz correct that it is high hp. Or does this increase drastically in the higher levels? Please state that too.

@Kaiserjhd: All all AP (Ability Points) into STR (Strength) as it will boost up your damage much more than DEX (Dexterity) by approximately 5 times. Also, MapleStory will unlock the AP Cap of 999, therefore you can add more STR into it instead of distributing into other stats.

AyumilovePost authorAugust 12, 2014 at 7:57 PM

@RedHotPower: You can add 50 DEX for extra damage (its approximately equivalent to 10 STR in terms of damage), but for me I add MP so I can save more on meso and more convenient for me to reduce pot consumption with Elixirs.

RedHotPowerAugust 12, 2014 at 10:39 AM

you should change the hyper skill build to add 50 dex instead of MP unless you can give me a good reason why you shouldn’t

EddielogyJuly 9, 2014 at 2:39 PM

Since I’ve been playing Kaiser as main, what I can suggest for Hyper Skill is not to add Wingbeat. What I have done is to pump into Inferno Dragon as it gives a higher damage and longer burn effect on mobs.

You’ll be using Gigas Waves, Blade Burst and Dragon Barrage very often when bossing. Also, Gigas Wave does slows enemies down, thus there’s no reason to add Wingbeat hyper skill.

It’s just suggestion but I feel that this order is better.

KaiserjhdMarch 21, 2014 at 1:43 PM

Hi Ayumilove, just a little quick question. My Kaiser is at 60+ and has a lot of STR+, but thought ‘what would be a good status for a Kaiser?’ It has a lot of health, STR+ is amazing and would DEX+ be good to build since its God like to be fast and strong at the same time. What would be your suggestion in building a Kaiser status?

HuiMarch 17, 2014 at 11:41 AM

Hi ayumi. i am consider a newbie to maplestory (coz i just started play for 2 days !) and can u recommend me to play a new job? coz i am currently no mesos. and i also not interested to put real money to gaming. so can u recommend me a job to play? i am currently playing maplesea. i seek for power and mobility ( moving ability)

Lucas0531October 13, 2013 at 9:53 PM

U need to do quest to get Nova Temprance? At what lvl do u get the quest?

HelaxOctober 10, 2013 at 8:02 PM

what the minimum level for nova temperance?

KaiserososoSeptember 11, 2013 at 10:32 PM

Nooo. Its weird being a Kaiser without horns. Well, thanks anyway ;)

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 11, 2013 at 10:21 PM

Hi Kaiserososo, you will lose your tiny horns if you change Kaiser hairstyle. It will not attach those tiny horns on the new hairstyle. If you are annoyed of that torns, hairstyle is one alternative to remove it *permanently*.

KaiserososoSeptember 11, 2013 at 7:03 PM

Ayumi! While browsing through Cash Shop’s hairstyle coupons, I realized that when i “try” the hairstyles, my Kaiser loses his horns!! Does this mean that if I buy a hair coupon, and change to a different hair, the horns will disappear?!

Thanks in advance ;)

kjh07September 7, 2013 at 11:52 AM

Thx for your explain Ayumi

AyumilovePost authorSeptember 6, 2013 at 10:10 PM

Hi kjh07, their drop rate is much more generous compared to MSEA, and multiple times more in Tespia Server (KMST).

kjh07September 6, 2013 at 3:55 PM

is KMS drop rate higher than MSEA

AyumilovePost authorAugust 28, 2013 at 9:23 PM

Hi SimplyHumble, as ELLO replied, they are passive upgrade of the first attacker mode. Same applies with defender mode.

ELLOAugust 28, 2013 at 4:03 PM

@simplyhumble: they are just an upgrade so you attacker mode just get more and more powerful

SimplyHumbleAugust 28, 2013 at 7:22 AM

Hi Ayumi, Just curious are the upgrades to the attacker mode stack? or do they just change to the upgraded effect? Thank you in advance. :3

ELLOAugust 27, 2013 at 10:45 PM

@ John Keyes: plz read the guide. it has been stated it will not show in 4th job skill. simply going to 4th job will enhance ur final form; no sp required at all

john keyesAugust 27, 2013 at 11:45 AM

where do i find Kaiser’s final final form for 4th job???

RayJuly 27, 2013 at 10:22 PM

What is nova temperance

AyumilovePost authorJuly 21, 2013 at 2:18 PM

Hi ace, I have added 2 videos below the guide on how to get the Nova Temperance.

Hi Wesley, when a new job such as Kaiser is released, GM NPC will reward free weapon and equipment for approximately 1 month. After that, you need to hunt those by yourself or purchase them at Free Market from other players who put them up for sale! Therefore, always play new job when they are first release to cut down the trouble of search equipment.

i play mapleseaJuly 20, 2013 at 9:54 AM

can’t believe so many people play maplestorysea

aceJuly 17, 2013 at 4:56 PM

hi ayumi sorry to bother u how do i get my nova temperance currently lvl 154

jecksonJuly 15, 2013 at 11:40 AM

hello ayumi,can i ask how to get the Nova Temperance ???>.<

WesleyJuly 14, 2013 at 6:34 PM

I’m lvl 30 but I am not getting my new equipment!? help?!!

AyumilovePost authorJuly 14, 2013 at 2:38 PM

Hi Hans, I recommend that you do not add any AP into MP as this will degrade your damage output. Just dump all AP into STR (Strength – primary stat for warrior). Currently my Kaiser is approximately level 100+ and my MP is more than sufficient for multiple trips of airlifts :) It did not occur to me about having little MP or the need to conserve MP for these flying trips. During my newbie Kaiser levels, I stick to training areas which is packed with mobs like a can of sardines and this training spots would be quite close to town area, probably 3-4 maps away which I just walk while killing enemies on the way.

hansJuly 14, 2013 at 12:39 PM

Hi, thanks for this awesome guide. I know kaiser has really low MP and with airlift maxed, was wondering if you adivce pumping in some ap points to mp. Or should i hold out? Im in maplesea btw.

AyumilovePost authorJuly 11, 2013 at 8:08 AM

Hi Phoong Zan Yip, previously I train in Stronghold and monsters there just drop mysterious mastery book. It will randomly give a Mastery Book which isn’t just Kaiser. Then trade those book for meso and purchase the one you need from Free Market.

Phoong Zan YipJuly 11, 2013 at 2:02 AM

Err, Ayumilove, your guide is great. I am currently lv 110 in maplestorySEA. Can i know which monster drop mastery skill book for kaiser?

AyumilovePost authorJuly 10, 2013 at 9:47 PM

Hi Sean, the information should be based on GMS patch.

SeanJuly 10, 2013 at 10:55 AM

Uhm, is this infomation based on latest patch in kms? which is already post nerf on kaiser…kinda confuse with other guide though

AyumilovePost authorJuly 5, 2013 at 7:04 AM

Hi Howlongdiduplaymaplestory, I could not find the error you are pointing out o__o Could you copy a snippet of the sentence?

AyumilovePost authorJuly 5, 2013 at 6:47 AM

Hi GlowinSmiles, do you have a graphic card with shaders? If not, you will not be able to see your Final Form. This happens to me with my Mechanic. After changing the color of my tank/mecha, I could not see my robot but only left the visible part of my character in a sitting position on top of an invisible robot. To solve this, you will need a 3rd party grapic card though.

HowlongdiduplaymaplestoryJuly 5, 2013 at 2:02 AM

Kaiser Equipment , INT – intelligent , u have a mistake there :)

vietbeoJuly 3, 2013 at 9:21 PM

Hi Ayumi, I’m 152 right now but why i don’t have Kaiser’s Majesty skill. Can u tell me how to get it

Blazeman22July 3, 2013 at 7:01 AM

hi ayumi i am now lv 113 with kaiser and i was just wondering where or how do u get mastery books? please answer im lost on where to get them

GlowinSmilesJune 30, 2013 at 1:57 AM

Ermm ayumilove Help? i recently used the main colour change coupon and after i used it i can no longer see me in my final form! i only used the coupon when i was the 4th job.
so why cant i see myself in the final form after using the main colour changing coupon?

BrandenJune 28, 2013 at 9:27 PM

Friend, how can i master blade burst? any skill book available?

DaLittleDevilJune 23, 2013 at 8:11 AM

Hey Ayumi just wondering what armor set should i get as i’m extremely(a bit ridiculously) well funded

AyumilovePost authorJune 22, 2013 at 5:23 AM

Hi Bob craver, most of my equips are obtain from looting monster drops instead of purchasing from shops. Drop rate from monsters has increased compared to previous MapleStory versions.

Bob craverJune 21, 2013 at 9:50 AM

Hey Ayumi i was just wondering for a kaiser are there any special swords, hats, clothes, etc. you can get or just buy them from the shop in different cities.

AyumilovePost authorJune 19, 2013 at 7:42 AM

You’re welcome NovaBoy.

WkongJune 18, 2013 at 9:49 PM

can I know , why the attack base at lv 1 to 70 is so low ?

NovaBoyJune 18, 2013 at 6:00 PM

Hi Ayumilove, your informations are always the best! Thanks!

BenjaminJune 17, 2013 at 6:31 PM

Uh ayumi,my kaiser transformation turned black at 4th job,is there a reason for this? Cos my friend had the same problem too…

AyumilovePost authorJune 17, 2013 at 5:58 PM

Hi It’s Me, you can grab Expert Sword Mastery. Then purchase Blade Burst Mastery Book and maxed that first before Expert Sword Mastery.

The price also depends on the server as the price is not the same in every server. In Aquila, kaiser books arn’t that expensive, ranging from 20-50m.

CloudspellJune 17, 2013 at 1:03 PM

Hi LeeKwangSoo, I’ve heard from a friend who does mechanting that nova warrior mastery book can go for about 200m++. And besides that, expert sword mastery is probably the most useful/recommended from what I’ve searched :)
Someone correct me if I’m wrong ><

LeeKwangSooJune 17, 2013 at 8:50 AM

who know kaiser which mastery book is most expensive or useful in maple sea ?????????

Andy IsBoredJune 16, 2013 at 7:29 PM

Ayumi can u post a video on how to do Kaiser quest Dragon Link Practice? I dont know how to do the quest

AyumilovePost authorJune 16, 2013 at 8:44 AM

Hi Eric, thanks for the update :) Hopefully we can get to Xenon soon!

AyumilovePost authorJune 16, 2013 at 8:32 AM

Thanks John for the Advance Tempest Blades Skill Update, I’ll be correcting it right away and also tweak the skill build guide to take advantage of the passive weapon attack it provides :)

EricJune 16, 2013 at 6:30 AM

Hi Ayumi, MapleSEA is now available of Kaiser and Luminous 2 new class too. Thanks

JohnJune 15, 2013 at 10:43 PM

Hey ayumi, I just find it weird that u maxed the Advance Tempest Blades at 4th job, the last, cause when i see it on MSEA, it has a passive, that adds 1 WA per skill level. Please reply ;D

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 3:32 PM

Hi KaiserNub try using right + down + attack to activate the skill.

KaiserNubJune 15, 2013 at 10:59 AM

Hello I just started a kaiser and trying to learn about the dragon link combo. It says to use left and down plus attack so use a skill but i can only use that skill in the left direction but not the right. Is that supposed to happen?

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 7:35 AM

Hi JR, sorry I do not have any advice on better set/upgrade gear. Normally, I just use regular equips :) Perhaps some other veteran MapleStory players can share their opinion on this.

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 7:33 AM

Thanks Cloudspell for answering Justin’s query regarding the attacker mode II which could not be assigned to the key slot :)

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 7:32 AM

Hi Justin, as Cloudspell said, you can only drag and drop the attacker mode I. The rest of the attacker mode receive on different job advancement is a passive improvement of the first.

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 7:31 AM

Hi Blazeman22, sorry for the late reply. Petrified skill was the unofficial skill name for Stone Dragon.

AyumilovePost authorJune 15, 2013 at 7:28 AM

Hi Eddie, thanks for pointing it out. I will be changing the name Petrified to Stone Dragon.

EddieJune 15, 2013 at 3:09 AM

Hi Ayumilove

I want to ask you about the Petrified skill. I don’t see any from my 3rd Job window. Appreciate if you can explain it to me? Thanks.

AyumilovePost authorJune 14, 2013 at 11:34 PM

Hi Jason, thanks for the compliment :)

jasonJune 14, 2013 at 10:44 PM

ayumi sogood

AyumilovePost authorJune 14, 2013 at 6:59 PM

Hi Benjamin, you can get the skillbooks based on the order of the skills to be maxed first.

Hi Justin, attacker mode II is just a skill that adds on to the normal attacker mode skill. Once you have that, the attacker mode skill will be improved but you still use the first attacker mode skill.

JustinJune 13, 2013 at 7:22 AM

Hi ayumi, I was wondering why I can drag and drop attacker mode but not attacker mode II. Please help~

JRJune 13, 2013 at 7:22 AM

Hey, when is a good time to upgrade gear? I’m almost level 110 and right now I’m just using the Grand Maple Leaf set (all 8 items). What gear would you recommend once i get higher in levels? Oh and I have low funds :P Thanks!

Hi there Ayumilove~can i ask that why u are not adding the inner blaze(and advance) in the first place?
cause i thought it will increase more HP when we enter higher level.
and if all AP of kaiser goes to STR, how bout the equipment?
and thanks for this webpage u hav done~this is awesome!!! >.<

pauJune 13, 2013 at 1:17 AM

Hi Ayumi, it’s me.. pau. I’d like to ask for your advice on what profession would be best for kaiser? I know that STR is his main stat.. and the most logical choice might be mining.. but I was thinking.. would herb and alchemy be good too? Considering that it would improve his max mp?

AyumilovePost authorJune 11, 2013 at 11:48 PM

Hi Aaron, the one you should get is the one that boost your weapon mastery at 4th Job.

AaronJune 11, 2013 at 6:56 PM

Ayumilove, if got free mastery skill book to get, which one is the most worthy to get?

AyumilovePost authorJune 9, 2013 at 3:58 PM

Hi Blazeman22, sorry for the confusion. I’ll update the explanation since Kaiser 2nd Job can max out all skills without worries :)

AyumilovePost authorJune 9, 2013 at 3:54 PM

Thanks Light for the correction! I have updated Kaiser Grand Armor Max Level from 30 to 20.

LightJune 9, 2013 at 10:21 AM

Grand Armor maxes at lvl 20

Blazeman22June 9, 2013 at 2:33 AM

um, for the second job is piercing blaze the only skill u cap at lv 8 or doo u also cap another skill too?

DeSnowyJune 2, 2013 at 12:05 PM

Yes I suppose so, but that would be a little slow right? :/

AyumilovePost authorJune 2, 2013 at 11:04 AM

Hi DeSnowy, using Blade Burst would take down those 8 arms simultaneously and quickly compared to using pure Gigas Wave in Final Form, right?

AyumilovePost authorJune 2, 2013 at 11:03 AM

Hi Phan, use Blade Burst since its max monster hits is 12. Zakum has 8 arms (4 left arms, 4 right arms) that would suffice. Then for the main body, use Giga Wave in Final Form. Hope that helps :)

DeSnowyJune 1, 2013 at 7:18 PM

Use gigas wave in final form. If are lv 170, use that hyper skill 1st.

PhanJune 1, 2013 at 3:47 PM

Hey ayumi, lets say im fighting zakum arms which skill should i use

AyumilovePost authorMay 31, 2013 at 9:11 PM

Hi Grimmjow4644, just use the auto-assign to allocate all AP (Ability Points) into STR (Strength)!

Grimmjow4644May 31, 2013 at 2:37 PM

Hi Ayumi, do i need to increase dex point or just use auto-assign and put all in str?

AyumilovePost authorMay 31, 2013 at 4:19 AM

Hi Kirito, I’m not sure what you mean about Kaiser changing color, but by default, its red (3rd job) and black (4th job). But you can use tickets to change the strips color. For instance, 4th job can have purple, gold, blue, green, red, etc color stripes on the black armor.

AyumilovePost authorMay 31, 2013 at 4:15 AM

Hi Anything, Kaiser isn’t gender lock :)

KiritoMay 30, 2013 at 9:04 PM

dear ayumi with the kaiser colour will i retain my 3rd jobs main colour scheme when i reach 4th job or will it reset?

AnythingMay 29, 2013 at 10:01 PM

Does kaiser have a gender lock?

DylanMay 26, 2013 at 11:26 PM

When I reached 4th job my final form became black. Does everyone get the same color or do you get a random one when u advance?

Thanks ayumi your sites the best.

Hi Benjamin, Kaiser skills can be activated in 2 manners, one is similar to Aran where you execute a chain of keys OR just assign the skill key to a keyboard button like how we use to play the normal jobs. I prefer the later since I hate spamming the keyboard. Tires my fingers :D

Hey ayumi, i just wanted 2 ask if command is n active key or do we have 2 do something else?

AyumilovePost authorApril 29, 2013 at 6:27 AM

Hi XxslayerxX, you can only choose 1 mode, either Attack or Defense. If you are on Defense Mode, and you activate Attack Mode, it will cancel the previous mode. Also, you could only activate 1 type of mode (Example: If you activate Level 3 Attack Mode, your current mode such as Level 2 Attack Mode will be replaced). For me, I opt for Attack Mode since its better to kill the monster faster than having it retaliating, thus losing health. Usually Attack Mode helps a lot in 1 hit kills – based from my experience training my Kaiser around Level 100+ at Herb Town: Red-Nose Pirate Den 2/3 :D

XxslayerxXApril 28, 2013 at 9:27 AM

Ayumi can we actually use attacker mode one,two and three at the same time?and another question,can we use both defenser mode and attacker mode at the same time?

Hi Demonzen, Kaiser is really strong! Stronger than Hayato even with basic equips (weapon and armor from quests).

DemonzenApril 24, 2013 at 5:48 PM

So strong…..

AyumilovePost authorApril 3, 2013 at 9:13 PM

Hi Dark_Wizzie, for me, I just plugin the keys itself into the keyboard as like how you do with other jobs. Drag/Click the skill icon and place it into the Keyboard Config. That way, you don’t need to spam-clicking the keyboard-arrows to get the skill activated. However, if you find it hard to memorize the keys, key combination is the way to go :)

Dark_wizzieApril 3, 2013 at 7:08 PM

Sorry for spam (can’t edit posts). I see I can attack either direction, the best way is to press down, left, attack at the same time. It’s still hard to get it every time though…

Dark_wizzieApril 3, 2013 at 6:33 PM

I’m having trouble activating linked-UI skills. The Linked-UI is basically a Kaiser attack skill assigned to a key comination, right? So I need need to attack a few times before using link it seems. Sometimes I get it activated, sometimes I don’t. I can activate left/down/attack, but not left/up/attack. And why left? I can’t activate if I attack on the right hand side?

Dark_wizzieApril 3, 2013 at 9:26 AM

Considering the high cooldown of Kaiser’s hyper, it’s actually quite weak compared to the new hypers coming in.

greenarrowspark2March 25, 2013 at 8:20 AM

Could you make a Hyper Skill guide for Kaiser? I don’t know what to put the SP into for the Stat and Passive ones.

EdwinMarch 22, 2013 at 11:30 AM

hmm… can kaiser hold two handed axe?? (curious)

AyumilovePost authorFebruary 28, 2013 at 6:14 PM

Hi 1337h4x0rz, there is (Tempest Blades) skill on Kaiser 2nd Job and (Advanced Tempest Blades) skill on Kaiser 4th Job. You need to max the (Tempest Blades) on 2nd Job in order to unlock (Advanced Tempest Blades). Hope that clarifies your doubt!

Hi Melia, probably next month Asiasoft releases another patch but it might not be kaiser but something else. They are enjoying their Chinese New Year break hahaha. Based on Asiasoft patching update history, it seems they will be releasing updates every 20-30 days (max 1 month) such as the Phantom, Liberation of Azwan and finally Dual Blade Reorganization + Hilla.

MeliaFebruary 16, 2013 at 12:19 AM

Will Kaiser Come To MSEA?T_T

CrazyJanuary 30, 2013 at 9:50 PM

question, I play on GMS. I want to know how to use my dragon link skills from the UI slot rather than the hot key in my final form. I dont know how since when i go to final form, the commands are gone but the skills are there. Please help.

Hi VizardLord, the 4th Job Skill Build Guide maxes Advanced Tempest Blades first (higher priority). But you will need to have 1 SP (Skill Points) into some of the 4th Job Active Skills first to allow you to try and see which skills fits your playing style. Some skills works better in certain area (use Dragon Barrage for flat lands, Blade Burst for multiple platforms ) depending on your training area.

AyumilovePost authorJanuary 24, 2013 at 11:56 AM

Hi Evictoria, it is through experience with playing multiple jobs :)

EvictoriaJanuary 24, 2013 at 5:28 AM

How do you know which skill to max out first? What’s the secret to building skills?

VizardlordJanuary 18, 2013 at 2:13 PM

Shouldn’t Advanced tempest blades have higher priority due to the passive attack bonus?

SangDecember 23, 2012 at 8:30 AM

I had no idea you were still around. I used to use your guides back when GMS was new. I thought you disappeared sometime after pirates came out. xD Thanks for the help

CaptainNovember 15, 2012 at 12:44 AM

I heard kaiser is coming out in dec and also I was wondering if anyone who played kms knew if the empress gear has had the dex removed with them now only requiring you to lvl your main stat.

@Khor Yu King: Hmm, I hope the job and skill art created by MapleSEA looks as good as KMS generated. By the appearances of the monsters in Malaysia Map Park, it looks too simple and a bit awkward.

Khor Yu KingAugust 28, 2012 at 9:11 PM

I hope that MapleSea will cr8 it own job same like the others

AyumilovePost authorAugust 16, 2012 at 8:40 AM

@Deity: We will have to wait and see :)

DeityAugust 16, 2012 at 12:03 AM

Ok, thanks! And what other nova classes are out there?

AyumilovePost authorAugust 15, 2012 at 7:38 PM

@Deity: KMS might be distributing this new content to USA probably 6-12 months as seen by previous release of Phantom Thief Job (took approximately 6 months) from KMS to GMS. Nova classes does not seem to be an exclusive job like Hayato/Kanna (JMS Jobs)

DeityAugust 15, 2012 at 12:47 AM

Ayumilove, will Kaiser be available in the USA soon? Because I think this might be my favorite out of the new classes to come.

killallbabiesAugust 13, 2012 at 3:23 PM

@Maplerxsszz, since there are 5 Nova Classes, and each one is connected to each other by storyline, Kaiser and the other 4 jobs are most likely going to be realeased for all versions of Maplestory , so don’t worry. MapleSEA will get them eventually.

AyumilovePost authorAugust 13, 2012 at 6:46 AM

@MaplerXsszz:
It might but we wouldn’t know for sure unless a public announcement is made by the official MapleSEA Developers/Administrators on their site.

MaplerXsszzAugust 12, 2012 at 7:53 PM

Is the Kaiser job available for MapleSEA(Singapore/Malaysia/Phillipines) version in the future?

ConfusedRaikaAugust 1, 2012 at 7:59 PM

@Jonas I think MapleSea isn’t going to get this class in years.

I’m just more concerned about Kaiser being gender restricted. Though Angelic Burster looks like a female restricted class, because MEN can’t be Mahou Shoujo.

JonasJuly 30, 2012 at 9:29 PM

Is this an exclusive character? or will it be available in the future for all countries? Because im playing maplesea

ManoJuly 29, 2012 at 11:25 AM

You are correct, it is changing to golden/yellow armor, but I need to check if it is autmatically level 20 or raises from level to level.
But I don’t think it is really cretain, you are doing a great job, thank you. :)

AyumilovePost authorJuly 29, 2012 at 8:55 AM

I have re-updated the Kaiser skill build guide.

AyumilovePost authorJuly 29, 2012 at 7:27 AM

Hi Mano, if you can’t find the Final Transfiguration in 4th Job, I think its a skill hidden from players skill window. (The skill is an enhancement to that Final Transfiguration in 3rd Job but does not require any SP, automatically sync level to it)

I assume that when Final Transfiguration is used in 3rd Job, you will be in silver armor whereas in 4th Job, you transform with golden/yellow armor, am I correct?

If yes, I have to amend the guide above :)

ManoJuly 28, 2012 at 11:02 PM

(I think the 20 SP points needed for Golden Final Transfiguration that got removed as been added to the cap of Sword Strike and Infernal Breath to 30, but I am not really sure, that’s just my opinion.)

ManoJuly 28, 2012 at 11:00 PM

Moreover, there is no such a skill as Golden Final Transfiguration at the 4th job from what I have seen.

AyumilovePost authorJuly 28, 2012 at 7:59 PM

Kaiser Skill Information has been updated to KMS 1.2.167 (25-July-2012)

AyumilovePost authorJuly 28, 2012 at 5:18 PM

Thanks Mano for the notice. I guess JMS/KMS is planning to reward 5 SP for 1st, 2nd and 3rd Job Advancement just to fill up those gaps :)

ManoJuly 28, 2012 at 3:34 PM

I leveld my kaiser to 100, and from what I know so far, on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd job you max every single skill. Just wanted to correct you.
On each job advance excluding the 1st one you get 4 SP to fill up the reshuffles and the dragon slash buff.

TannerJuly 23, 2012 at 11:55 AM

Ayumi i downloaded the hackshield update that u told me to download, i launched the game and then i got this error 0x3000ffff(805371903) This is an error that occurs when there is an unknwon porblem.
